Hardware Support
The plugin requires that your AMD GPU or APU has support for the Video Coding Engine (at least Version 1.0) in addition to always requiring the latest (not the recommended) driver. For convenience all supported GPUs and APUs are listed here.
If you have a GPU or APU with VCE support and it is not yet listed here or there are no limits for it known, you can run the test yourself! Once you have run the test, create an issue and it will be added to the wiki.
The first public Video Coding Engine on an AMD card which can encode the two basic H264 codecs AVC (Advanced Video Coding) and SVC (Scalable Video Coding). It supports the NV12 color format, encodes I- & P-Frames, supports the Profiles Baseline, Main, and High (with the highest Profile Level being 5.1) and can at most encode resolutions up to 1920x1920.

These values are expected peak throughput framerates with nothing else using the GPU and without the CPU to GPU latency.

The second version of the Video Coding Engine added B-Frames support and nothing else. It is identical in speed to most cards of the first version.

| Steamroller-Godavi | Jaguar-Kabini | Jaguar-Temash | Puma-Beema | Puma-Mullins |
The first version that supported up to 4096x2160 encoding at reasonable speed and offered all the features of version 2.0 and 1.0.
| R9 285 | R9 380 | R9 380X | R9 M395X |
An iteration of the 3.0 version which has identical features, but lower maximum throughput. It is unknown why AMD chose to do this, however it was most likely to reduce the cost of the GPU.
| R9 Fury | R9 Fury X | R9 Nano | Pro Duo |
Accelerated Processing Units supported: Carrizo, Bristol Ridge, Toronto
Version 3.4 added support for H265/HEVC encoding at the cost of reduced throughput in H264/AVC and H264/SVC encoding and also losing the ability to encode B-Frames.

This version is supposedly used in the upcoming Vega graphics cards, not much is known about them. Supposedly the first generation to support "Radeon Virtualized Encoding" (in Radeon Pro cards apparently) and massively faster. All this is unconfirmed as the cards have not been released yet.

If you have a GPU or APU with VCE support and it is not yet listed here or there are no limits for it known, you can [run](https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-studio_amf-encoder-plugin/releases/download/1.9.9.6/AMFSpeedTest.zip)! Once you have run the test, create an issue and it will be added to the wiki.
